My french dwarf bean in trouble

Can't identify that mould? Got a great tip for keeping slugs at bay? Suggestions for organic weed control? Post them here...

Morning Littlesmall, i don't know if you have any ventilation in the makeshift greenhouse, so i was thinking the problem might be down to scorch, codensation falling on the leaves when the sun is shining.

Just a thought.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

My dwarf beans were exactly the same about 4 weeks ago (discussed on this forum) and I eventually put it down to cool nights and very hot days under the cloche and in the greenhouse. Well, they have all grown out of it and are now cropping well. None of the new leaves have any markings.
